BROOKLYN HARRIERS
The Brooklyn Harriers held their: weekly run from the residence of Mrs. J. Harlen, Wright-street. The captain (F. Harlen) was in charge, and was assisted by H. Mio (deputy-captain). The trail, laid by C. A. Willis and N. Hudson, led up Bidwill-street on to the hills past the reservoir to Brooklyn, thencealong the ridge to Vogeltown, and down into the gully below Mornington, where it doubled back to. Vogeltown, and down the hills to Wright-street. Here a halt was called for the usual handicap rutlin. This resulted in a narrow win for W. Harbison, with C. Cummins second, and R. Pouta-wera third. Inches only separated the three men. The members and their supporters were afterwards the guests of Mr., and Mrs. J. Harlen, associated with whom were Misses Fulton, Mason, and Flint.
